    Great Escape MK3?

    Not sure how many Great Escapes there has been over the years. Obviously, there's been a few seasons where we've flirted with relegation, but this has to be the most recent 'proper' Great Escape? Will it be MK3 ?

    GE1, where we stayed up on the last Day in L2 and Oxford went down instead
    GE2, Derry in League 1, Sheehan pen away at Oldham on the last day
    GE3?????????? Last day again?????? YES WE CAN DO IT!!!!

    COYP!!!

    Stevenage (A) Draw
    Northampton (H) Win
    Crewe (A) Win (about time)
    MK Dons (H) Win (yeah i know)
    Crawley (A) Lose
    Grimsby (H) Draw
    Swindon (A) Win

    W4 D2 L1 14 points

    47 points in total.

    STAYING UP!!!!!!!

    I always thought the first GE was in 2002 under Dearden. Not sure 2006 counts.

    2002 was the first GE that was an incredible run at the back end of the season Caskey/Whitley in CM and we beat Huddersfield last game at ML.

    Dearden a manager who I liked and did a good job in the circumstances.

    No 'Great Escape' I'm afraid, more likely, 'A bridge too far' this time. On paper it looks pretty easy but in truth, these player just don't look up for it.

    Have to agree with you I'm afraid. It's the old Status Quo hit for Notts. "Down Down".

    I have

    Stevenage (A) Draw
    Northampton (H) Win (Out of bottom 2)
    Crewe (A) Draw
    MK Dons (H) Loss
    Crawley (A) Loss (Back in bottom 2)
    Grimsby (H) Win (Level on points with 3rd bottom)
    Swindon (A) Draw

    W2 D3 L2

    9 Points and I think it might come down to Yeovil v Carlise and Macclesfield v Cambridge. In Theory I feel we have the tougher of fixture, plus its away. I have us going down by 2 points.

    How can you forget the original Great Escape in 2002. What a forward line we had... Danny Allsopp, Mark Stallard, Paul Heffernan...Cas on the wing. Caskey in the middle,

    and Michael Brough..

    I was getting that one confused with 2006 I think. Yes, I remember the original of course. Although it feels like there's been so many that they've all melded together!
